Medieval Education

Medieval education was often

conducted under the auspices of the
Church. During the 800s, French ruler
Charlemagne realized his empire
needed educated people if it was to
survive, and he turned to the Catholic
Church as the source of such
education. His decree commanded
that every cathedral and monastery
was to establish a school to provide a
free education to every boy who had
the intelligence and the perseverance
to follow a demanding course of study.
Grammar, rhetoric, logic, Latin,
astronomy,
philosophy
and
mathematics formed the core of most
curriculums. During the Dark Ages,
the only natural science learned came

from popular encyclopedias based on

ancient writings of Pliny and other
Roman sources. The medieval student
might learn that hyenas can change
their sex at will and that an elephant's
only fear is of dragons. Students
learned more when they ventured out
into the countryside to talk with
trappers,
hunters,
furriers
and
poachers, who spent their time
observing wildlife.
Medieval
students
often
sat
together on the floor, scrawling notes
from lessons using a bone or ivory
stylus on wooden tablets coated with
green or black wax. Knights were also
educated and looked down upon if
they could not read and write. Girls
were virtually ignored when it came to
education. Only daughters of the very

rich and powerful were allowed to

attend select courses.
At 14 or 15, some scholars would
continue education at a university.
These were a creation of the Middle
Ages and could be found in larger
European cities. Wars and invasions
often halted studies, but these
universities would reemerge during
the later Middle Ages and the
Renaissance. The cap and gown that
college graduates wear today have
their roots in medieval academic
garments.
Educational

Practices of Jesus Christianity
came from Christ, the Greek word
for Messiah. It was founded on
Judaism also a monotheistic

religion. Offered a new ethical force

three greatest teachers, the other two
being Socrates and Gautama.

proverbs. Jesus never delivered the
analytical addresses common today.
3. Parables a kind of comparison or

directed to the imagination
Jesus methods that are still
being used today:

of the students;

for His examples;
